As she explains “a life of dignity is not guaranteed to everyone. Every day, all over the world, people are overlooked by their community and abandoned by wider society.” Without recognition and a sense of responsibility from both local and global communities there will continue to be those that are unable to reach their full potential.

On Global Dignity Day Kim encourages us to foster a sense of belonging and start a dialogue around the importance of dignity for all: “Let’s make this not just a day of empathy, but a day of inclusion and action.”
